Chapter 333: Chapter 158: The Ten Thousand Year Promise_1
In the history Shen Yuan was familiar with, there was no record of the final whereabouts of the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda.
In the history recounted by Gong Buyu, the Supreme Taoist declined to become the master of the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda and drifted away, leaving behind the legend of the Supreme Taoist in the Primal Chaos Realm.
As the most precious immortal tool, the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda, paradoxically, became a stepping stone contributing to the fame of the Supreme Taoist.
“Judging by the timeline, there are only a few decades until the Great Yin’s Mortal Emperor’s Absolute Heaven and Earth Passage occurs.”
“As long as within this period, Great Divine Immortal Minghao does not choose to subdue the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda, this treasure is very likely to be passed down to later generations smoothly due to the Great Schism.”
“Being an outstanding Immortal Artifact imbued with a trace of the Boundary-opening Treasure’s aura, even if the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda is damaged after myriads of years, it remains a treasure with boundless potential.”
The more he thought about it, the brighter Shen Yuan’s eyes became.
He was now only in the Qi Refinement Realm, and unless he became a puppet host, he wouldn’t be qualified to control a complete Immortal Artifact.
Even if he managed to control the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda by relying on the influence of the Donghua Emperor, he would soon give himself away, potentially leading to unpredictable troubles.
Moreover, since the Nifty Pagoda was sentient, if Shen Yuan took it through time to a period thousands of years later, it would not be easy to control with his insufficient strength, exposing many of his secrets.
Additionally, with Great Divine Immortal Minghao lying in wait, taking the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda now would be the worst choice for Shen Yuan.
It would be better to let things take their natural course and wait for the passing of myriads of years before taking action.
And the last, but most important point…
“The history recounted by Gong Buyu has come full circle due to a series of coincidences.
Even if the Falling Clouds Sect has been eradicated, the Supreme Taoist still emerged, and a Taoist still managed to outshine his contemporaries and reach the top level of the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda.”
In this bizarre historical loop, if I subdue the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda prematurely, could it disrupt the whole historical cycle, thus leading to unforeseeable consequences?”
If Shen Yuan had the privilege to be beyond history, he would definitely try to tamper with the effects of disrupting the historical cycle.
However, now that Shen Yuan was in the midst of history, he was unwilling to risk disturbing the already established course of history.
Having made up his mind, Shen Yuan’s chaotic thoughts began to converge, and he looked at the disheveled ferocious beast with a calm gaze once again.
“Although the Nifty Pagoda contains profound mysteries and holds the power to suppress the fortune of a realm, in the next hundred years the situation of divinity will be volatile, and the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda should not be disturbed.”
With an indifferent tone, Shen Yuan spoke, and the ferocious beast trembled, immediately realizing that the Donghua Emperor’s words were intended to be passed on to Great Divine Immortal Minghao, who coveted the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda.
For the next hundred years, the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda must not be disturbed.
After a hundred years, it can be taken freely.
Although the ferocious beast did not understand the profound meaning of the Donghua Emperor’s words, it still bowed respectfully in response:
“I shall respectfully comply with the Emperor’s decree!”
In the eyes of the ferocious beast, Great Divine Immortal Minghao had no intention of taking the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda in a short time, especially since a mere hundred years for a Major Heavenly Immortal was but the blink of an eye.
The decree of the Emperor was something Great Divine Immortal Minghao would undoubtedly not dare to refuse.
Seeing the ferocious beast comply, Shen Yuan’s thoughts finally settled.
“As long as Great Divine Immortal Minghao does not take the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda within this century, after the Great Schism everything will no longer be up to that Heavenly Immortal.”
With this matter resolved, Shen Yuan was supposed to leave, but for some reason, he felt as if something was missing.
With a slight frown, Shen Yuan instinctively looked towards the very top of the 18th floor of the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda, feeling as though something above the eighteenth floor was drawing him in.
Seeing this, the ferocious beast tensed and then humbly raised its head and spoke softly:
“Your Eminence, if you are visiting the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda, would you like to meet with the pagoda spirit of this treasure pagoda?”
The words of the ferocious beast caused a flicker of realization in Shen Yuan’s heart.
This 18th floor of the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda corresponds to the trial of Heaven Gate, and only after it should come the true summit of the highest level of the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda.
“It nurtures the fate of a realm, indeed, it would be appropriate to meet it.”
As Shen Yuan spoke, the ferocious beast quickly raised its paw and drew a gesture in the void, and a golden portal appeared in the center of the platform on the 18th floor.
With a humble smile on its face, the ferocious beast said:
“May I report to the Emperor, this gate is the final portal of the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda, and it leads directly to the core of the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda.
In it, a realm’s laws are nurtured, and even the rudimentary transformations of the Boundary-opening Treasure exist. However, Great Divine Immortal Minghao does not allow this humble god to step into it, thus I cannot guide the Emperor there.”
Shen Yuan nodded slightly upon seeing this and headed towards the golden portal.
The ferocious beast watched Shen Yuan’s departing figure, and beneath its deferential expression, its eyes seemed to fluctuate with thoughts.
Just as Shen Yuan was about to step into the golden portal at the last moment, his steps suddenly halted, and the thought flickering in the depths of the ferocious beast’s eyes imperceptibly froze.
“You have guarded within this pagoda for myriads of years.”
“After myriads of years, I shall grant you an opportunity for fortune!”
Shen Yuan glanced at the ferocious beast, and his flat words sounded like thunder in the beast’s ears.
The ferocious beast’s expression stiffened, then it revealed an uncontrollable look of ecstasy.
Myriads of years meant little to the ferocious beast that had ascended to the Immortal Realm.
Merely due to Great Divine Immortal Minghao’s orders, it had guarded the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda for tens of thousands of years without any reward.
If obeying the Emperor’s command to guard for ten thousand years yielded an opportunity for fortune, it might have the chance to escape its lower Immortal status.
